If you know a bright young adult who is looking for a great college major or an even better long-term career, suggest they check out insurance. Lest you think we’re biased, consider that US News and World Report insurance agent as the third best sales and marketing job. One of the main perks highlighted by the magazine is the above average flexibility afforded by the field — and that’s very attractive to millennials. However, there are other important “career magnets” in insurance that make us a pretty fantastic match for young professionals. And there are many positions beyond “agent” within the industry.
According to a Benefits Pro , the top three criteria the millennial generation says it values when looking for a job are:
- Good pay and benefits.
- Opportunities for upward mobility.
- Challenging work.
Amerisure definitely offers those.
Good pay and benefits
Our package is designed to recognize effort, input and performance. We don’t just offer uniform raises or set advancement either. Instead, we are committed to offering a program that truly differentiates between employees so the standouts are actually able to earn better than competitive compensation. In addition, Amerisure supports professional development throughout our employees’ careers by providing tuition reimbursement for external education and professional certification, while also offering training programs through our own Amerisure University.
Opportunities for upward mobility
As is true across most industries, baby boomers are retiring in record numbers — and that has created incredible career prospects for millennials eager to get into the business and move up quickly. It takes a lot to run a business as large as ours, so Amerisure employees can explore a range of positions in different locations. The shear breadth of means nearly anyone can find a role that aligns perfectly with their interests and talents. Amerisure is focused on helping individuals with real diversity in background and experiences too; we think it leads to a better work environment for everyone.
Challenging work
There’s nothing worse than workplace boredom, which is why Amerisure strives to banish work-by-rote tedium. Fortunately, we’re in an industry that truly makes a difference in society. If you’ve faced an insurance claim yourself, you know the importance of what we do every day. We are truly honored to be part of an industry that literally affects client livelihoods. And we’re being recognized for our culture and accomplishments. A few of our noteworthy awards include Business Insurance magazine’s Best Places to Work in Insurance; Metropolitan Detroit’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For; and 2016 When Work Works award.
We take the time to recognize when employees rise to the challenge. Our Champions through Excellence and DARE to Be Extraordinaire programs are two more ways we support a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that we also provide a well-rounded employee experience outside the office by reaching into local neighborhoods through our Amerisure Charitable Foundation. This means we match employee contributions to a range of charities, sponsor community outreach efforts and support nonprofit organizations that enhance the lives of people in the communities of our employees, board members, Partners for Success® agencies and 麻豆原创.
Calling all generations
While we’re eager to help launch the careers of interested millennials, we also enthusiastically support anyone interested in making a career switch to insurance. We’re always looking for fresh perspectives and engaged professionals. Are you — or someone you know — ready to be our next great hire? today!
